jeez, dude, chill out. You asked us for our advice. Sorry you didn't hear exactly what you wanted to hear, but such is life.
The reality is this: most people here are dedicated to making the best beer possible. They spend hours and hours being careful and precise. So when someone rolls up and wants to know how lazy he can be and still have an okay batch of beer, they're not going to get a lot of cheerleaders. If people seem anal-retentive, it's because they are...because that's what this hobby requires if you want great beer. And they naturally project that anal-retentiveness onto others. You don't have to follow our advice. You can make whatever kind of drink you want. You can shortcut all the important stuff if your heart so desires...because it's
your beer. But don't expect cheers and applause from a group of people who pride themselves on precision and care. We're gonna tell you just what we think: if you want good beer, there are certain "shortcuts" that you shouldn't take. But, again, nobody is forcing you to do anything. If you want sound advice, cool, you've come to the right place. If you want sunshine blown up yer arse, this ain't the place. I've had my fair share of lambastings and lectures from seasoned veterans, and most of them have made me a better brewer. Don't take it personally.
